Obtaining New License Plates Following Impoundment

If you had your license revoked in the past and your plates impounded,
you can apply for new plates once you have regained your full driving
privileges. Let Katz Lawyers help you to navigate the process of applying
for new regular license plates for the vehicles you legally own once your
impoundment period is over.

When Are License Plates Impounded?

When an arrest is made for a DWI or related driving offense, the arresting
officer may issue an impound order. Under certain circumstances, the state
may seize, impound, and destroy license plates from a car following an
arrest. In some cases, the officer may issue a permit to allow the vehicle
to be operated by another individual in the household or if you obtain
a limited driver's license. Typically, the special plates issued in these
circumstances have special markings to alert law enforcement of your history.

A license plate impoundment order may be issued for:

Driving without a proper driver's license

DWI if the driver has a prior DWI within the past 10 years

First offense DWI if there was an underage passenger

First offense DWI if the BAC was 0.16% or higher
